saturday sees a visit to the meadow from di canios rottweilers. you can be sure they will all be on a short lead sniffing around town's goalmouth and posts in particular. swindon will be fresh from a 4-0 hammering of the cherries but tonights home league cup game against burnley may prove daunting. results. preston 4 swindle 1 oxon 1 swindle 0 swindon 0 orient 1 carlisle 2 swindle 2 pompey 1 swindle 2 swindle 4 cherries 0 league p8 w4 d2 L2 f13 a8 gd5 points 14 position 5th nb home gd 8-1 away gd 5-7 this may prove that swindle do not travel well, but we shall see. top scorers ritchie midfield 5 collins striker 3 benson striker 2 on the face of it this could be a draw at best, but with town fully fired up i think they will see through the red mist and win 2-1. morgan and gornell in front of 6356. one thing is certain the best vintage port will be under wraps and the swindle dignatories may indulge in lithuanian sparkling port or croatian finest cinzano. come on you shrews breath on 'em. floreat salopia! the rotties may need more than a bob martins!
Shrews ....0 Swindon....2 Ritchie , Miller 6200 although Swindon have had some ups and down results, i think they have ironed out their problems and will be a little to strong for us
Guaranteed that Collins will score. I'll be interested to see if he celebrates - I'd imagine he'll get booed all game and so will celebrate in front of our fans. Town 1-1 Town (Gornell!)
By the way I have arranged with the club for the OSC to do a bucket collection at this game in memory of Dean Holdens little girl who sadly passed away with meningitis in the summer, if you are attending the game & have some loose change please let us have it. We will be presenting this to Deano after the Walsall game (don't want to upset him before he plays)to donate to his charities . Thanks very much.
Swindon may have improved from last season but so have we (in some areas) so I think we can beat them again 2-1 as we did last season (I predict Collins will lose his rag and get sent off and I am more worried about Benson who often scores against us) . Attendance 6250.
Shrewsbury 3 (Gornell 3) Manipulators of the System 0 (Sent off Dick Canio) Attendance 5919 ( Plus one after the sending off)
just another titbit, swindle beat burnley last night 3-1 in the cup, scorers benson, williams and ex exeter archibald- henville. collins came on in the 87th minute. does this mean he is being saved for saturday, or is out of favour with the mafia boss and may not play on saturday. i think we should be told
Bloomin swindle get the home draw in the cup against Villa, more money and a soapbox for bragging by dic kanio.
